33: Chapter 33 Heavenly Demon Body

Three more months passed; it was late autumn.

On this day, the loud crying of an infant echoed from Lu Shiqing's room.

Lu Shiqing had given birth.

【Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining an offspring with a Grade 6 Spiritual Root!】

【Rewards distributed: 800 Low-Grade Spirit Stones, Low Grade Spiritual Artifact: Flowing Cloud Robe.】

At the same time, the familiar throbbing of Spiritual Root feedback arrived.

"Grade 6 Spiritual Root!"

"It even rewarded a Spiritual Artifact."

Ye Changge felt a surge of joy in his heart.

He walked quickly into the room to comfort Lu Shiqing.

He took the swaddling clothes from the midwife.

It was a son, and his brows and eyes already vaguely held some of Lu Shiqing's delicacy.

"Let's call him 'Ye Chen'," Ye Changge said softly.

"May his heart be like dust, grounded and steady."

After the mother and child were settled and asleep, Ye Changge returned to his room.

He took out the "Flowing Cloud Robe" rewarded by the System.

With a thought, he opened the System description.

【Flowing Cloud Robe】

【Low Grade Spiritual Artifact garment. It automatically fits the wearer's physique, is warm in winter and cool in summer, and possesses the effects of dust-repelling, Qi gathering, defense, and divination prevention. At the same time, it can conceal cultivation and change one's appearance.】

Ye Changge moved his mind, and the garment automatically put itself on him.

He was now wearing a sky-blue, cloud-patterned, wide-sleeved robe.

It fit his tall, upright figure perfectly, his sleeves fluttering.

"Hmm, not bad." Ye Changge looked at himself in the mirror, quite satisfied.

With this outfit, paired with this face.

The lethality toward women would likely increase by several notches.

...

This day. Evening.

Ye Changge was in the specially renovated bathing room.

Soaking in a medicinal bath that aided in the Cultivation of the Jade Purity Beauty Cultivation Art.

He closed his eyes and focused, circulating his Cultivation Technique to absorb the medicinal power.

Now, his Cultivation Technique had reached the Bottleneck of the fifth layer.

He had condensed the "Moonlight Radiance" aura recorded in the Cultivation Technique.

To take another step forward, he needed to neutralize it with external assistance.

After all, in his view, this appearance was still quite useful.

Whether it was Liu Yiyi or Lu Shiqing, being able to win them over so quickly had a great deal to do with his handsome face.

Suddenly, the door was gently pushed open.

Lu Shiqing walked in, holding the hand of the still somewhat shy Liu Yiyi.

"Husband, this thing you soak in every day, Yiyi and I want to soak in it too."

Lu Shiqing had changed into a light gauze dress and looked at the bath.

After giving birth to the child, her figure hadn't changed much at all.

Instead, some parts had become even fuller.

Her beautiful eyes held curiosity.

Liu Yiyi's face was slightly flushed as she hid behind Lu Shiqing.

Ye Changge opened his eyes and looked at the two beautiful wives with distinct styles before him.

He smiled and said, "If you want to come, then come. I couldn't ask for more."

Upon hearing this, Lu Shiqing generously removed her outer garment and gauze dress.

Revealing her jade-like body, which was like a work of art, she stepped into the bath.

She sat opposite Ye Changge and sighed comfortably.

Liu Yiyi was so shy that even her ears turned red.

Although she and Ye Changge were an old married couple, but with Lu Shiqing there, she still felt a bit reserved.

It wasn't that Lu Shiqing bullied her.

On the contrary, the two were the most familiar with each other in daily life.

It was just that her nature was so simple and shy.

Under Ye Changge's encouraging gaze, she slowly undressed.

Then, like a startled little rabbit, she quickly slid into the water with a "splash," huddling tightly against Ye Changge's side, hiding most of her body under the water, with only her flushed face exposed.

The three of them bathed together.

Lu Shiqing brushed back her wet long hair and suddenly said, "Husband, in a few days, I want to go home to see my parents and my sister."

As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Yiyi beside her stiffened slightly.

Her eyes instantly clouded with mist.

She lowered her head and gently bit her lower lip.

Lu Shiqing immediately realized she had made a slip of the tongue.

She quickly reached out to hold Liu Yiyi's small hand and said apologetically, "Sister Yiyi, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that..."

Liu Yiyi shook her head.

Ye Changge also extended his arm, pulling Liu Yiyi's soft body into his embrace, and comforted her gently: "Don't worry, Yiyi. I have long since sent people to station themselves near your hometown village and spread the word to find the whereabouts of your sister, Liu Qingqing. As soon as she returns, she will surely know that you are here, safe and sound."

Hearing this, Liu Yiyi looked up with her teary, misty face.

"Thank you... Husband... Wuwu..."

She finally couldn't hold it back.

She buried her face in Ye Changge's warm chest and began to sob softly.

Ye Changge gently patted her back.

He bent down and scooped her wet body up from the water.

"Shiqing, tonight I will stay here with Yiyi," he said to Lu Shiqing.

Looking at Liu Yiyi's pitiful appearance, Lu Shiqing, how could she have any objections? She nodded quickly.

At the same time, her small face flushed slightly as she said, "I... I want to accompany Sister Yiyi too."

The three of them walked together toward the soft couch nearby.

...

Meanwhile.

Below the cliff.

The blood lake was silent, and the scarlet water was motionless.

In the center of the lake, the sleeping girl, Liu Qingqing, her eyelashes suddenly fluttered.

"Ugh..."

She slowly opened her eyes; her vision was blurry at first, then gradually cleared.

"Where... am I?"

Liu Qingqing held her throbbing forehead and struggled to sit up, but she found herself floating in the middle of the lake.

"I seem to have... gone up the mountain to pick herbs... and then slipped..."

"The cliff, I fell off the cliff!"

Her pupils contracted sharply, and a wave of worry welled up in her heart.

"Yiyi! Yiyi is still at home waiting for me! I promised her I would be back in three days..."

She anxiously tried to swim away from this eerie blood lake.

Just then.

"Oh? Completed the Awakening so quickly?"

"As expected of the Heavenly Demon Dao Body, it is truly extraordinary."

Two voices filled with exclamation came from mid-air.

Liu Qingqing looked up in horror, only to see above the blood lake, two figures were standing in the air, she didn't know when they had appeared.

"Who, who are you?"

Liu Qingqing's voice trembled, and she subconsciously shrank back.

The gray-robed elder chuckled, his voice carrying a hint of respect: "Welcome, Saintess, to your Awakening."

The Black-Robed Man also bowed slightly, "Welcome, Saintess."

"Saint... Saintess?"

Liu Qingqing was stunned, then shook her head in a panic, "You have the wrong person! I am not some Saintess! I want to go home, my sister is still at home waiting for me!"

The gray-robed elder said unhurriedly, "There is no mistake. You possess the one-in-ten-thousand Heavenly Demon Dao Body. You have been sleeping in this blood lake for three years. Now that you have awakened, you are the divinely ordained Saintess of our Sect."

"Three years?!"

Liu Qingqing felt as if she had been struck by lightning, "I... I slept for three years?"

"Indeed."

Liu Qingqing's mind was in chaos.

Three years?! How did Yiyi live alone? What happened to the village?

"No... I want to go back! I want to see Yiyi!"

She struggled to stand up, but still couldn't move.

The gray-robed elder was about to speak again, when suddenly, the space distorted.

Both of their expressions turned solemn, and they bowed simultaneously: "Greetings, Sect Master!"

Liu Qingqing's vision blurred, and on the shore of the blood lake, a figure had appeared, she didn't know when.

It was a young man who looked to be no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a simple black garment, with loose black hair and a very youthful face.

"Heavenly Demon Dao Body... has it finally awakened?"
